Today I had a little bit of free time for refactoring because I was at home with a summer cold.

Some parts of the phpMyFAQ codebase are quite old because phpMyFAQ is almost 10 years old. Currently I’m working on the refactoring of the search component which hopefully will be part of phpMyFAQ 2.6.7. You maybe ask why I do this in the stable version and not in the master branch? The answer is quite simple: my spare time is limited so I will concentrate the next weeks and months on improve the 2.6 code base which will also be merged into the master branch for phpMyFAQ 2.7 and later.
